…Some strata managers are even bundling different buildings together to get even greater reductions. For once, there are deals that aren’t too good to be true.
However, you do need to be careful. As an EC member who kept a close eye on our electricity accounts, I was surprised one day to hear from our retailer that they had had a request to hand us over to a different retailer (which they are obliged to comply with). It turned out that the managing agent had included us in a bulk deal without our knowledge. The new deal was likely better for buildings with higher consumption but it was not a better deal for us. While the c/kWh rate was marginally better, the daily supply charge was considerably higher. It took considerable effort to reverse.
